Let's break this down. We're going to add 5730 and 2712 together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 2 in column 1 and get 2.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 3 & 1 in column 2 and get 4.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 7 & 7 in column 3 and get 14.
We'll write down the last digit 4 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 5 & 2 in column 4 and get 8.

So, 5730 + 2712 = 8442.
